The Alley Dwelling Authority (ADA) and the Federal Works Agency (FWA) funded the construction of the Bryant Street Houses in Washington, DC in 1943. This development of 32 living units was built for African American national defense workers (Washington, DC was highly segregated at the time). It is unknown to the Living New Deal if any of the structures still exist, but it is not likely since these homes were classified as “demountable,” i.e., intended to be taken down and salvaged sometime after the war. The ADA was one of the earliest New Deal initiatives to provide better housing for low-income Americans. It...

The Alley Dwelling Authority (ADA) funded the construction of the Stanton Court Garages in Washington, DC between 1935 and 1936.

It replaced unsafe alley dwellings in Washington, DC with more modern and affordable houses and apartments. The ADA existed...

The Alley Dwelling Authority (ADA) funded the construction of Jefferson Terrace in Washington, DC between 1937 and 1938. Jefferson Terrace consisted of 16 homes. Jefferson Terrace was described as being in the square bounded by I, K, 6th, and 7th streets southwest. However, it appears that square no longer exists, with K Street SW perhaps being shortened at some point to make room for a newly developed area bounded by I Street, Maine Avenue, and 6th & 7th streets. Additionally, the DC Housing Authority does not list Jefferson Terrace as one of their currently-managed properties, and Google satellite imagery does not show...
